Backing Up and Restoring the Settings 5 STEP 1 In the Restore Startup Configuration File section, click Browse. STEP 2 Select a configuration file (.config). STEP 3 Click Restore. This process may take up to a minute. STEP 4 Click System Management > Restart in the navigation tree. STEP 5 When the confirmation message appears, click OK. If you do not want to restart the router, click Cancel. The imported settings are not applied until you restart the router. NOTE: Alternatively, you can use the Restart button. Press the Restart button for one second and then release it to restart the router. Backing Up Configuration Files and Mirror Files You can save your startup and mirror configuration files to your computer. If needed, you can use these files to restore the settings. STEP 1 Click Backup Startup Configuration or Backup Mirror Configuration. STEP 2 When the File Download window appears, click Save, and then choose a file location. Optionally, you can enter a descriptive filename. Then click Save. TIP: The default filenames are Startup.config and Mirror.config. It may be helpful to enter a filename that includes the current date and time, for easier identification if you need to import a file later. STEP 3 Close the Download Complete window. Copying a Startup File or Mirror File If needed, you can manually copy your startup configuration file to your mirror configuration file or you can copy your mirror to your startup. TIP You can use this process to back up a known configuration before you make changes. Copy the startup file to the mirror before making your changes. If you are dissatisfied with your changes, copy the mirror to the startup to restore the settings. NOTE • The startup configuration file is automatically copied to the mirror configuration file every 24 hours. Cisco Small Business RV0xx Series Routers Administration Guide 93
